You Are Mine My Dear - Poem by Sabbani Laxminarayana

You are mine my dearThey all say: NoThough you are mineI could not see you I could not reach you I could not meet you I could not talk to you Though you are mineThey say it is enough for you.Yes, it is enough for me Because you are mineYour body and mind is one I knowIn my breath, in my sleep you are with meThey see the outer worldI see the inner worldYou and I are one They don’t know the philosophy of lovePhilosophy of love and philosophy of life is same How pity! They live only for physical needs But we live for loveLove is life what I gained and what I lost, it is lovelove is the princple and philosophy of lifeIt is here what I learned from youThat is loveYou are mine my dear It is enough for meI don’t want immence propertiesIt is enough for me to be with you in your lapAs a child I play with you As an adult I enjoy with youAs a middle aged person I take journey with youAs an old age boy I take rest with you I feel you are mine alwaysIt is enough for me
